Chapter 8: Stunning Performance
Although my younger brother Shen Jian is merely cannon fodder among the rogues, he has indeed become quite knowledgeable in the matters of broken legs and arms. Shen Lang's display of skill is truly astonishing; both his technique and methods far surpass those of the doctors who treat the gang members.
From then on, his parents and younger brother said nothing about Shen Lang's changes, they were simply happy
The mother has prepared a coarse needle, with a diameter of approximately 3 millimeters, specifically designed for sewing animal hides. It was boiled in hot water for sterilization. Shen Lang decisively and accurately pierced into the lung and then withdrew it, followed by inserting a core-extracting plant stem into the wound
He has the responsibility to ensure that his parents and younger brother live a good life
The most crucial point is that the previous Shen Lang was completely a useless fool; how is it that he has undergone such a significant transformation now, and where did he learn such formidable skills from
From this moment on, you will be my biological parents, my own younger brother
Shen Lang still has white rice, while his father, mother, and younger brother have corn porridge
After finishing the meal, Shen Lang prepared the medicine and then administered it to his father and younger brother respectively
Shen Lang carefully examined his brother's broken leg with his X-ray vision. Fortunately, the broken bone was relatively smooth and not sharp, so it did not puncture any important blood vessels
"My son eats meat..." The mother placed the only few slices of cured meat, one piece after another, into Shen Lang's bowl
My mother is virtuous and quick in her actions; within half an hour, the dishes were already served on the table: three bowls of porridge, one large bowl of rice, one plate of wild vegetables, one plate of green vegetables, and one plate of cured meat with cucumber
And now, breathing has become much easier, and there is no longer a feeling of tightness in the chest; that sensation is truly pleasant
... ...
"Dalong, your mother will accompany you. There are wild beasts on the mountain, and you must not get lost." The mother came out directly.
However, for Shen Lang, it was completely effortless; his X-ray vision could easily determine the precise locations of accumulated blood and fluid
Alas! It is truly biased to an extreme degree
Shen Lang was still somewhat worried that the plants in this world might be completely different from those on Earth. However, his concerns were unfounded, as despite the presence of many unfamiliar plants, a considerable number of them were identical.
Mother nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, anyway, my son is back, it is the blessing of heaven. With such abilities as Da Lang, we won't have to marry Widow Liu. In the future, once we have saved enough money from opening a clinic, we can even marry the village chief's daughter."
"Dalang, wash your feet." The mother approached with a basin of warm water, squatting down directly to wash Shen Lang's feet. The entire process was natural and skilled, clearly indicating that for the past ten years, Shen Lang had always had his feet washed by his mother.
I did not expect that my son would achieve such remarkable results with just a slight application of his skills; his medical expertise is truly exceptional
Even if the father and younger brother are injured and recovering, even if Shen Lang is in good health, the whole family still prepares the best meals for him alone
Mother was even more fixated on Shen Lang, truly unable to believe that her son had become so intelligent and so capable
"Do not ask, your elder brother was not foolish before, he is merely wise yet appears simple." The father directly stopped the mother's inquiry and said, "We are already delighted by how your elder brother has changed, why must we pry into every detail?"
Shen Lang certainly wanted his father and younger brother to eat, but he knew they absolutely would not. Moreover, seeing Shen Lang eat meat made them feel even happier inside
After more than an hour, most of the hematoma and fluid in my father's lungs were drained. It is not a concern that a small portion could not be removed, as the body can gradually absorb it through its own functions
The mother was taken aback, yet surprisingly did not question it, and nodded in agreement: "Alright"
In just over an hour, he harvested a considerable amount of perilla, honeysuckle, and dandelion, all of which can be used for their anti-inflammatory properties
Father is still coughing, but his breathing has become much smoother. Previously, even when he was trying hard to breathe, it felt as if there was not enough air; each breath was accompanied by excruciating pain as if his lungs were about to burst. That feeling was truly more unbearable than death.
But the mother seemed a bit sad and said, "Darling, you used to love it when I washed your feet, what happened? My hands are quite clean."
"My son must be hungry, I will go prepare a meal for you." The mother cheerfully walked into the kitchen
My younger brother has a broken bone and needs to drink bone broth. He should lie down for about two months, and he will be fine.
This plant stem has a diameter of approximately 2 to 3 millimeters, and after being hollowed out, it is empty inside. Moreover, it is sufficiently sturdy, just right for draining out accumulated blood
Throughout the entire process, the parents held their breath in disbelief, staring at the scene before them. Not only did they refrain from speaking, but they even dared not to take a deep breath.
At this moment, a faint voice of Tian Shisan reached his ears: "Shen Lang, your family truly loves each other. However, you only have two days left; if you cannot come up with one thousand gold coins, your entire family will suffer the consequences."
This can barely be considered a minor surgery, taking less than an hour from start to finish. Although my younger brother was sweating profusely from the pain, he gritted his teeth and held onto a wooden stick, managing not to utter a sound.
This is truly astonishing. After returning home, Shen Lang not only ceased to be foolish but actually became remarkably powerful.
Mother has already sharpened the small knife and has also boiled it in hot water
Although the blood clot and fluid in my father's lungs have been drained and he is temporarily out of life-threatening danger, it can only be considered a partial treatment at best. Next, he still needs to continue with anti-inflammatory treatment, nourish his lungs, and replenish his body, and these medications cannot be obtained from the mountains; they need to be purchased.
"Absolutely not eating," said my younger brother Shen Jian, lying on the bed beside me.
I will do it myself, I will do it myself. Shen Lang absolutely cannot allow his mother to wash his feet, that would be extremely unfilial
Shen Lang inherited this body and its memories, but did not fully inherit the emotions. However, within just a few hours, he found himself captivated, captivated by the love of his parents and younger brother
Shen Lang intended to share the rice with his father and younger brother, but the three of them decisively refused.
Shen Lang understood that every time she washed his feet, it was also a source of great happiness for his mother, as he was her most cherished child
My son is growing, eating white rice, and you can't swallow corn porridge. The father said decisively: If you don't eat rice, I won't eat it either, and your younger brother won't eat it either
Just now, my father saw it clearly; Shen Lang's movements were swift and decisive, his gaze resolute, completely resembling a different person from before
After Shen Lang's treatment, the effects were immediate and remarkable
"Father feels much lighter and more comfortable now, my son is truly remarkable." The father's words were filled with immense pride
In modern times, the earth's Isatis root is hailed as a panacea. Subsequently, Shen Lang continued to dig up more than a dozen types of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, including those for stopping bleeding and reducing heat, filling an entire bamboo basket. Unfortunately, he did not find belladonna, and thus could not produce anesthetics.
She completely treats Shen Lang like a child, even reluctant to let him go up the mountain alone
... ...
Unfortunately, this is neither the edge of a dry desert nor a grassland, so there is no licorice. However, to his great surprise, he unearthed isatis root.
She is worried that Shen Lang might come to disdain her after having lived a life of luxury at the Xu family for a few months
Next, Shen Lang will treat his father, starting with the drainage of the accumulated blood in the lungs; otherwise, the injury will worsen.
Due to the inconvenience caused by my father and younger brother lying in bed to recuperate, the dining table is set up between the two beds
Shen Lang carried a bamboo basket and a small shovel as he left home and ascended the mountain, closely followed by the thirteen and fourteen adopted sons of Tian Heng.
In the evening, Shen Lang returned home fully loaded, and his mother had already prepared everything.
Unfortunately, the conditions here are too rudimentary, making it impossible to drive steel nails. After aligning the broken bones completely, Shen Lang used boiled thread to suture the wound, applied the crushed herbal medicine to the injury, and then bound it tightly with three sharpened wooden sticks and boiled cloth strips, ensuring that the area where the bones were rejoined was completely stabilized, as there was no plaster available, only wooden sticks could be used.
It is often said that after three days of absence, one should look at another with new eyes. This precious son of mine has only been away for three months, and he has already acquired such remarkable abilities
"This leg cannot touch the ground for now, and it is best not to move it. It will heal in two months," Shen Lang said
There are many anti-inflammatory Chinese herbal medicines, and the back mountain of Shen Lang's home is a lush forest
They will always keep a close watch on Shen Lang until they receive the money, and as soon as the time comes, they will kill him
The younger brother threw away the wooden stick he had been biting and exclaimed to Shen Lang, "Brother, you are truly amazing! My broken leg not only has reduced swelling, but it also doesn't hurt as much anymore. I have seen many doctors treat broken legs, but none are as quick and effective as you!"
For her, her son has become enlightened, and every word he utters seems to carry the weight of a divine decree
Shen Lang said: "Father and Mother, I am going to the mountain to gather some herbs."
The family was both surprised and delighted
Mother, boil a pot of water at home, find a small knife and sharpen it a bit, prepare a thicker and longer needle, and get some cotton cloth to boil in the water
Thus, Shen Lang made several small incisions in his father's lung and gradually suctioned out the hematoma inside
Shen Lang gently made an incision at the site of his brother's fractured bone, firstly to allow the stagnant blood to flow out, and secondly to facilitate a more accurate alignment of the bone.
The most challenging aspect of this hematoma drainage is knowing where these hematomas are located, as they are within the lungs and cannot be seen with the naked eye from the outside, making it nearly unsolvable for doctors in this field.
Thus, Shen Lang was completely immersed in happiness, watching his mother's rough hands wash his feet. Throughout the process, her gaze and expression were filled with boundless happiness and contentment
